九州学院中学校・高等学校, Secondary education institution in Kumamoto, Japan.
Kyushu Gakuin is a combined junior and senior high school in Kumamoto that educates around 2,000 students on a shared campus. The main building holds classrooms, laboratories, a library and sports facilities spread across several floors around a central courtyard.
The school opened in January 1911 as a Protestant educational institution and expanded to six grades after World War II. Several renovations modernized the campus over the following decades while keeping the original layout.
Students participate in traditional Japanese clubs focusing on tea ceremonies, calligraphy, and martial arts alongside their regular academic curriculum.
Classes start in early April and end in mid-March, divided into three terms with breaks in summer, winter and spring. Visitors need to register with the administration in advance, as the campus remains closed during school hours.
The school is among the few institutions in Kyushu that have integrated Christian values into education for over a century. Former students created an association in the 1980s that organizes exchanges with partner schools in South Korea and Taiwan.
